Do you Google search and click on whatever news sources come up or do you look into the news sources leanings, news reporting quality, and credibility? Maybe just if you can vibe with it or not in general?
Simplified
Do you save a list of specific news sites? Or do you just click on anything just to read that specific story on a search engine?
Me personally: I have a set list of sites I check. I know that they are credible and trust worthy to the public, being non profits and them having high standards to news reporting. (some of them include Npr, and Ap news) Most of their news stories are intended to benefit the public. Of course they aren’t always perfect, but a solid choice, especially if you’re starting out on picking a specific news source.
How about you all?
At times, I find “unbiased” sources painful in how they pull their punches. It can be refreshing to me to find sources that are willing to write to their audience.
FWIW, non-profit does not mean unbiased. Nor are they necessarily more accurate.
Yes, nonprofit doesn’t mean unbiased. But, they do tend to report content in a public interest perspective, rather than a specific political leaning. Public interest may sometimes happen to lean a certain way. This is why I prefer them, you can atleast know that they’l report on some topics that people want to hear.
While a corporate news organization is going to report what *they want to report, based on their specific political leaning and/or their profit driving goals.
